Program description ：Legal secretaries are well-paid and have strong prospects for full-time work. The most employable and promotable legal secretaries have specific training and experience in litigation and conveyancing procedures. Legal Secretaries have some common duties. They type correspondence , reports, invoices and related material from handwritten copy or machine dictation, using a computer, word processor or, less commonly, a typewriter. Increasingly, they use word-processing or desktop publishing software to format text drafted by others, rather than working from handwritten copies. This may include the preparation of presentation materials. They also prepare routine correspondence and compile data, statistics and other information. Some secretaries assist committees by taking minutes. Minute-taking routinely uses laptop computers or tape-recordings. In most cases shorthand is no longer used. Other common duties include scheduling and confirming their employer's appointments and meetings, and greeting visitors and directing them to the appropriate person. They may handle routine invoicing and payments and order office supplies, and they may supervise other office workers. Legal secretaries are required to have understanding of the vocabulary and processes of law. They handle and format legal correspondence such as deeds, wills, affidavits and briefs. They also review and proofread outgoing documents and correspondence to make sure that the documents agree with legal procedures and grammatical usage. In some cases they attend court or meetings to take notes or minutes.
